TransportMichael Gray operates a route linking the village with Wexford Mondays to Fridays inclusive [2] Bus Éireann route 379 serves the village on Mondays and Saturdays only linking it to Wexford, Gorey and intermediate locations such as Courtown Harbour.[3] AmenitiesThe village has three pubs, Corrigan's, the Blackwater Lodge (which is also a hotel) and Whelan's. It also has a video Arcade called the Glider, a number of supermarkets, a large second-hand furniture store and a clothes alterations shop. Lately the village has increased its population, and has seen the building of hundreds of houses in the village itself and in outlying areas. Blackwater is very close to Ballyconnigar beach, a site with one of the highest levels of erosion due to tidal forces. The stretch of beach from Ballyconnigar to Ballynaclash is popular for bathing, walking and fishing. Due to high volumes of beach users in the summer months, off season and night fishing is probably best advised. The ground south of where the Blackwater River enters the sea is very broken and does not seem to hold many fish. Species encountered outside this area include bullhuss, smoothound, tope, bass, ray, codling, eels and flounder. Ballyconnigar beach is close to Curracloe strand and Ballinesker beach, where the opening scene of the film "Saving Private Ryan" was filmed. Blackwater also has a mobile-home holiday park called 'Abhainn Dubh Mobile home and Leisure Park' which has been opened since 1993 and lies less than a 5-minute walk from Blackwater village.[4] SportsThe local GAA team is St. Brigid's Blackwater, established in 1885.
